September garlic hint

Aug 11, 2026 | Gardening tips, Garlic, Monthly Guides, Root Vegetables, September | 0 comments

garlic

In September, garlic bulbs will be swelling. This is the time to make sure they are watered deeply twice a week, well mulched and weed free. Spray with a seaweed solution (not a nitrogen based fertiliser) such as Seasol about every 3 weeks. Protect from cockatoos with a net.
